Join us on this episode of The Business of Better as our host, Dr. John Chuback, welcomes onto the podcast Dr. Paul Fedak, an esteemed cardiac surgeon, research scientist, speaker, and medtech consultant, and academic strategist who's turning his clinical insight into thought leadership and innovation in healthcare.  After a spinal injury ended his surgical career, he pivoted from the operating room to building a platform that brings awareness to the importance of striking the balance between professional excellence required of surgeons and maintaining a sense of self-care and wellness, as well as the challenges that surgeons can face mentally and physically during their careers and how to handle them.  Dr. Fedak explains how he's exploring how to use storytelling, coaching, and formal leadership training to help hospitals, health systems, and healthcare professionals solve problems that don’t have a scalpel-based solution.

Dr. Chuback and Dr. Fedak discuss what surgeons often get wrong about leadership, why burnout is as much a physical issue as a mental one, and how physicians can start to think like entrepreneurs—without quitting their day jobs. Dr. Fedak also shares insights from his work as a Chief Medical Officer for a medtech startup, lessons learned from building his platform, and why clinicians need better tools for negotiation, conflict resolution, and long-range thinking.

If you're interested in physician leadership, innovation in health & wellness industries, or transitioning from clinical to corporate, this is a must-watch.
